Honeycrisp Apple Cake

I have a confession to make. I'm terrible in the kitchen. Honestly, Jeremy does most of the cooking! I am trying, though. I want to be able to whip up something fabulous.

When I was in New Jersey, my Mom took me to a cooking class. It's laid back, casual, there are only about a dozen people, and it's all held at a women's house. She comes up with a theme, she cooks everything while you watch and take notes and then you get to eat. My kind of cooking class.

When I was visiting, the theme was Autumn Days and Winter Nights. She made recipes that were warm and cozy yet also still light and refreshing. She used apples, acorn squash, roasted oranges, and thyme (not all together, mind you).

I learned a lot and came back to Memphis with some confidence in the kitchen.
I made her Apple Cake recipe and just haddddd to share. It's the perfect thing to make in the fall. Trust me, everyone will love it!

My gosh, that looks amazing! I've just started really delving into cooking/baking myself (my husband also did most of it before!) so I don't know that I have any favorites yet. Although I did make a pumpkin banana bread (with chocolate chips) the other day as part of our October Unprocessed effort. It was sweetened with maple syrup and ended up being accidentally vegan!
